वर्षांते कानि चाहानि येषु शक्रो धरातले । समागच्छति को मास एतत्सर्वं ब्रवीहि मे
varṣāṃte kāni cāhāni yeṣu śakro dharātale | samāgacchati ko māsa etatsarvaṃ bravīhi me
“Vào cuối mùa mưa, vào những ngày nào Śakra ngự xuống trần gian? Ngài đến vào tháng nào? Xin hãy nói cho ta biết tất cả.”

Listener: Viśvāmitra (implied)
Scene: The questioner asks for precise calendrical details—days and month—of Indra’s arrival after the monsoon; imagery of clearing skies and fresh earth after rains.
Sacred time (kāla) matters in Purāṇic dharma; merit and divine events are often linked to seasons and specific days.
Not specified in this verse; it sets up calendrical details within the broader tīrtha-glorifying narrative.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the verse asks for the month and days connected with Śakra’s coming.
